From a book called the College Finder, which lists top schools in different programs:

Colleges with Excellent Biochemistry Programs Pennsylvania State U- University Park University of Miami University of Ilinois - Urbana University of Wisconsin - Madison University of Calif. at San Diego, LA, Berkeley University of Iowa Kansas State U NOTE: I didn't include the Ivy's that were listed

When people say 'lots of ECs', what they're really saying is my ECs suck. Seriously, you don't want lots of ECs, but focus on a few. I know this was random, but people say 'lots of ECs' like its a good thing.
